Bondet must have continued his labors at New Oxford and its vicinity until near 1695 ; for in another communication we find that "In 1695 Mr. Bondet, a French Protestant minister, preached to the Nipmug Indians." After this we hear no more of him at New Oxford." He probably removed to this place sometime during the Summer or Fall of 1695, for the inhabitants of New Rochelle addressing the Propagation Society in 1709, declare that "By the assistance of Colonel Heathcote they had befcn provided fourteen years ago with a worthy minister, Mr. Daniel Bondet, ordained by the Bishop of London." To this event, Col. Heathcote himself alludes in a letter to the Society dated 10th of April, 1704: -- "I did propose to the Vestry of We-tchester a medium in that matter, which was, that there being at Boston a French Protestant minister, one Mr. Bondet, a very good man, who was in orders by my Lord of London, and could preach both in English and French ; and the people of New Rochelle being destitute of a minister, we would call Mr. Bondet to the living, (of Westchester) and the parish being large enough to maintain two, we would likewise continue Mr. Mather and support him by subscriptions. The Vestry seemed to be extremely well pleased with this proposal and desired me to send for Mr. Bondet, which I immediately did -- hoping by that means to bring them over to the Church ; but Mather apprehending what I aimed at, persuaded the Vestry to alter their resolutions, and when he came they refused to call him.6
